Spring to remember

I asked. "A little rain never hurt anyone." "It's the humidity" he said, "I don't want to do anything when the air is so thick." It was only thirty percent humidity that day! Believe it or not this is somewhat high for the area, but it was all he had experienced. "This just goes to show that everything is based on your perception." I told him.

This progression goes on for about ten minutes, for a brief moment the choppy rays seem to light the entire sky. Then the sun bursts above the mountain's peaks, as if an orgy had come together all at once in the heavens and climaxed.
